With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

"Then I can just take you all to another star system and you can wait it out. I want to be clear that that's an option. If saving everyone is just a matter of time that we can get time."
That would buy them like 4 years till Galaxia wipes out all life in the universe.


So, the mission becomes clear: Hit Metalia's base, free its captives, end it (and probably Beryl in the process) and hopefully recover the Silver Crystal and use it to fix everything. No easy task. I fully expect there to be literal armies of youma guarding it, whatever powerful servants Metalia has left on site and Beryl as the final boss... Joy.
If Beryl or Metalia had the Silver Crystal there wouldn't be a solar system left at this point.
 
I'm a bit surprised they actually did just let OL purify them. If I were designing an "almost can't tell" mind control system not letting anyone tamper with what's keeping them altered would be priority number one or two.
The mind control isn't a designed system, it's just the natural effect of having too much of Chaos's evil energy in you: You turn evil.

You're still you, just evil you.

Sailor V gives me a shocked look. "But there must be a way to save then. Lushun's pillar.. thing, you thought that would work!"
'them'
"Then I can just take you all to another star system and you can wait it out. I want to be clear that that's an option. If saving everyone is just a matter of time that we can get time."
'then'?
"Most of them, but that required tools that I just don't have here. And I can't get them. Unless you know of a incredibly powerful focus of pure life energy, then we're out of-"
'an'
 
I think those should say 'sense'
Thank you, corrected.
No, in Britain, we abbreviate 'mathematics' to 'maths' rather than 'math'.

It was a concern, but the Heavenly Kings are actually pretty good at dark energy manipulation. One sign that he was up to something, the needle goes into his neck. And they didn't have a better idea.
That throws the time frame a little out of whack, unless she means the local Paul left her in England, only to turn up weeks later in youmafied form...
Ah, no. Not 'turned up for the first time'. 'Turned up youmafied and started killing them'.
Thank you, corrected.
Can someone tell me the MC oath?
Generally:
"This is my cause, this is my fight!
Shine through the void with orange light!
I've claimed all within my sight!
To keep what is mine, that is my right!"

He's got quite a few.

First, Orange Lantern's initial oath:

This is my power
This is my light.
Be it bright of day or black of night.
I claim all that lies within my sight.

TO TAKE WHAT I WANT, THAT IS MY RIGHT!


Then, Paragon!Orange Lantern's oath after reaching Orange Enlightenment:


This is my cause, this is my fight!
Shine through the void with orange light!
I've claimed all within my sight!
To keep what is mine, that is my right!



Orange Lantern's oath when fusing with the Ophidian for the second time:


This is our cause!
This is our fight!
Let none who live dispute our right!
Powered by need, our tireless might
Guides all souls with orange light!



Renegade!Orange Lantern's oath:

This is my power, this is my might!
I stand alone in darkest night!
With this ring, my foes I smite!
I conquer all with orange light!



Renegade/Grayven's oath after getting Sinestro-50's ring:

In blackest day or brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light,
Let those who try and stop what's right,
Burn with my power, Prince Grayven's might!
 
There's nothing Orange Lantern should be able to do unless Zoat rewrites how several things work.

The Silver Crystal is an Infinity Gem level artifact, its so far above anything he's ever dealt with he shouldn't even have any inkling of where to start.
And yet it'll still work. Because deus ex machina don't make sense.
 
Not like Paul is all that good at following the List. He turned into a giant snake and ate an energy field larger than his head simultaneously!
Overlord List Corollaries, #0: If you're going to follow all the rules all the time, why bother to be an evil overlord at all?

Not that he is (except Evaul/Tangseid) but he's a super powered by greed, it sort of applies. Certainly he has the option of having a peaceful life without his ring charge, much like an overlord could just rule a duchy and live in forgettable luxury.
 
Also something toned down for the 90's anime. Probably a bit much for a girl's show.
Toned down in the 4Kids dub. I forget if they toned down the "Queen Serenity killed herself" thing in the original Japanese-language anime, but I vaguely recall they did not. And in the Japanese original version of the anime, um. The ending two-parter against Beryl and Metalia.
Everyone dies. Horribly.
One of the Senshi literally gets crucified.
Another (I think Ami) does the "I will hold them off so you can proceed" thing.
Usagi literally has to stab mind-controlled Tuxedo Mask through the heart, and then basically sacrifices herself to power the Silver Crystal Reset Button.

Everyone laughs at "Talent!" and "Cousins!" but what was done in the original dub was so, so much worse.

At this point, she's probably little more than a finger-puppet for Metalia. A Human body for the dark spirit to walk around in...
While true, certainly by this point, the irony is that an earlier Beryl could possibly have been restored just like Paul did to Kunzite and Zoisite.
It's been awhile, but I seem to recall that when the time came to unveil Metalia's full might to the world, even Beryl was shocked to realise just what, exactly, she had facilicated the unleashing of.
(The other irony that, way back in the Original Moon Queendom Days, if I'm not mistaken, the entire thing started because Beryl had a crush on Endymion and, social status making that impossible, functionally went full yandere.)
I doubt she's actually Naru's mom here though...

Um, Paul? Just to be on the safe side, when you find Mazikeen, make sure that you emphasize to your allies that she's not completely evil and on your side. I'm saying this, because unlike in the DC universe, all demons are evil, and I could be wrong, but I don't think the Sailor Scouts have ever had to deal with a non-evil demon/youma before, haven't they?
The Dark Kingdom's youma were, I believe, universally evil. Later on in the series, there were some who could be argued to have been Orange And Blue Morality cases, or simply punching a clock.
(IIRC, the last of the Cardians in the Doom Tree arc, Yammandakka, was portrayed as not particulary enthuiastic about her summoned-for mission at all, and has the unique case of being a monster-of-the-week who was never shown as being defeated/purified by the Senshi, simply vanishing offscreen. This played for hilarity in Shadowjack Watches Sailor Moon in which in the "framing setting" of the watchthrough she's basically adopted by the Senshi as a mascot.)
 
Random aside but how's Renegade Artemis doing? Did she ever remember everyone's names? Did she get to join the league since she's now older than the rest of the team put together?
